Sherman also understands how recruiting a player like Wilson raises expectation levels, and failure indicates a need for changes within the organization.
The NFL is a highly competitive league that has franchises that demand excellence. NFL fans have witnessed coaches come and go over the years for this reason. A recent example has been the dismissal of former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, who led them to their Super Bowl win in 2010. But his inability to lead them back to that stage ultimately led to his downfall.
The Russell Wilson trade- a boon or bane?
The move from the organization has rejuvenated the hopes of fans following an unsuccessful pursuit of Aaron Rodgers but with the successful acquisition of the now-former Seahawks QB. Wilson is also younger than Rodgers and will be coming into a team full of talented players. It was a relief for a franchise that aims to be a playoff team with ambitions to be in the conversation of Super Bowl contention.
The organization’s fan base has been through the wringer with no-shows of 10,000-plus at home games in recent campaigns. However, they now have their star attraction quarterback and who is also the last piece of their team puzzle.
